– good week. Finding my strength going up and my chest is feeling tight.
– didn’t do Saturday session. I’m doing my cit group class on my rest day and its high reps of squatting and lunges and ab work. By the next day I was very sore. And my energy levels by Saturday are down.

Looking forward to my next cycle.

Saturday

Didn’t train today. My partner is sick ATM and I think I’m getting it. Trying to fight it off thou. Pumping vitamin c in to me and eat good.

Had a meeting with my coach and spoke about plans etc and I’m doing well with the new training and moving into German volume training. Lots of reps and putting on size. Looking forward to this.
